Was she trying to shove the wedding album in her face, or did she not notice she wasn't invited?

Some people simply don't notice that someone couldn't care less about their family member's wedding. They only know they want to show the pictures they took, so they do it, and that's about it. Not everyone knows how to have an interesting conversation.

It is rather distasteful, though, to invite someone to your bridal shower and then not invite them to the actual wedding. It's basically organizing an event to openly gift-grab. I know it's rather controversial, but even if you get invited to the actual wedding, isn't it a bit weird to be forced to give a gift?

Bridal showers are something I will never, personally, fully comprehend or accept. I believe gifts should come from people who want to give them, and I'm also aware that not everybody has the same financial position, so I consider the entire event unfair.

I know new couples need things when they're about to embark on their marriage journey; they need stuff for the house and everything, but don't we all? Maybe I should organize an adult shower so my community can help me get the stuff I need for my house.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against giving presents or even expecting them, but we can't get mad if someone doesn't give us one; and if they do, we should at least invite them to the party, right?

    How the woman expected her to react to the pictures

    Subject is a model and is not connected to the story

  • I think she missed a great opportunity to be petty and ask if the couple liked her gift, or even go so far as to ask why she wasn’t invited to the wedding after the bridal shower, not to know the real answer, lol, to make the other woman uncomfortable. At any rate, the entire issue is petty, so it might have been better not to say anything.
